Also known as “Admissio”, it is the simple rite whereby after a few years in the
seminary, each seminarian formally requests to become a presbyter to the Archbishop
and enter fully in preparation for this step. An outward sign reflecting their inner
disposition is the wearing of the black clerical shirt.

This took place on the 14th of November 1995 before Archbishop Barry James Hickey
presiding at St Gerard Majella Church, Mirrabooka.
